Re: Invoking MATLAB class constructor

Hello,

I am trying to adapt a program called MAxSym, developed in MATLAB, to run in Octave. Part of the program involves calling a class to create an object. For example I am attaching 'Model.m', which is how you create the object.

I have looked through some of the online Octave documentation and can't determine whether this is supported in Octave, and if so, what is the correct syntax that I should use to invoke the class constructor?

Thank you!

Dear Colin,

The Octave and Matlab syntax to create an object of your class "Model" is:

   >> obj = Model()

but as your class "Model" is derived from the class "Check" from the package "MAxSym", Octave complains that is has no such class definition:

   error: class not found: MAxSym.Check

I think you are trying to use this one: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/34361-maxsym

What Octave supports about classdef classes is documented here:

   https://octave.org/doc/interpreter/classdef-Classes.html

and here:

   https://wiki.octave.org/Classdef

If you face further problems you can as for specific problems or error messages you get.

HTH,

Kai
